yesterday the united nations overwhelmingly voted to upgrade their status to a nonmember state and that allows palestine to go after israel in international court, which could delay or complicate efforts at creating two independent states of palestine and israel. ambassador susan rice said she is disappointed by the vote. the u.s. had tried to prevent it by threatening funding in the west bank. rice said the only way to truly create an independent palestinian state is through direct talks with israel, something the u.s. is committed to helping make happen. even though this vote was largely symbolic, palestinians yesterday took to the streets. they were celebrating what they consider a victory and a step toward their independence. the real test is going to be what happens moving forward. do both sides come to the table and start talking about a peace agreement? it's something that both palestine and israel say they want to see. i'm danielle leigh. jon, back to you. >> thank you very much. >>> closer to home, optimism over avoiding that looming fiscal cliff dwindling on capitol hill as la

it does give a real practical relationship between the palestinians and the united nations. the palestinians gain something. they can gain access to u.n. committees, they can use those committees to put pressure on israel, to continue that process of delegitimizing israel. it's important. but on the ground it doesn't really change anything at all. when the vote was held, almost all the palestinians i spoke to said the same thing. this doesn't change anything on the ground. the israelis say the only thing that will change is face-to-face negotiations between the palestinians and israel. the israelis say the path to peace does not go 5,000 miles away through the united nations in new york. it's seven miles between jerusalem and ramallah. let's meet here and talk. >> when you put that in perspective. seven miles. wow. martin fletcher this in tel aviv. thank you so much. >>> now a whopper of a sink hole for number four of our first five web stories. the crater in dover, ohio is reportedly as large as four football field. the department of transportation thinks dredging near a po

the united nations general assembly voted today to recognize palestine as a non- member observer state. the tally was 138 to nine, with 41 abstentions. the u.s. voted no. it came after palestinian president mahmoud abbas appealed to the world body to issue the birth certificate of palestine. >> we did not come here seeking to delegitimize a state established years ago, and that is israel. rather, we came to affirm the legitimacy of a state that must now achieve its independence, and this is palestine. >> sreenivasan: palestinians said the vote would strengthen their hand in future peace talks with israel. but the israeli ambassador to the u.n., ron prosor, warned that the palestinians are turning their backs on peace. >> for as long as president abbas prefers symbolism over reality, as long as he prefers to travel to new york for u.n. resolutions rather than travel to jerusalem for genuine dialogue, any hope of peace will be out of reach. >> sreenivasan: meanwhile, a bipartisan group of u.s. senators said today they will push to cut off u.s. aid, if the palestinians use their new statu
